Founder of virtual marijuana marketplace barred from running in elections
The Central Elections Committee disqualifies the founder of Telegrass, a virtual marijuana marketplace, from running in the upcoming elections.
Supreme Court Justice Neal Hendel, who heads the committee, orders Amos Dov Silber be erased from the No. 2 spot on the Liberal Economic Power party’s electoral slate.
Silber is currently in prison awaiting trial after being indicted in September for managing Telegrass, which before it was shut down in March connected drug dealers and customers on the Telegram messaging app.
